Dr. Mechelle Jungsten

Dr. Mechelle Jungsten is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who has spent many years working in the mental health field. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and earned a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University. In addition to her therapy license, she is also certified as a Health and Wellness Coach, bringing a practical, whole-person lens to the work she does with clients.

Dr. Jungsten approaches therapy with the belief that people can learn from one another and that each person carries more strength and wisdom than they may realize. She focuses on helping clients uncover their potential so they can move forward with greater clarity and authenticity. Many people have a clear vision of who they want to be, yet feel blocked by unhelpful thought patterns that can throw emotions off balance and contribute to concerns like depression, anxiety, and self-defeating behaviors such as overeating, substance use, or other disruptive habits. She emphasizes that it is possible to get unstuck and build healthier patterns over time.

Her style integrates cognitive behavioral interventions that are oriented toward solutions, with an emphasis on identifying negative thinking and understanding how it influences behavior. Dr. Jungsten aims to be a steady source of support when life feels heavy or hopeless, helping clients regain perspective and take meaningful steps toward healing and a more satisfying life.
